  • Publication number: 20240377164
    Abstract: The present invention comprises an apparatus for attachment to the rotatable vertical elevation adjuster used on vertically adjustable bow sights. The bow sight ancillary distance marker attachment provides a semi-smooth surface on the exterior to attach a tape for elevation markings that corresponds to a particular projectile's unique characteristics. The bow sight ancillary distance marker attachment is secured with a set screw inserted into an opening with molded threading corresponding to the thread size and pitch of the set screw; or when manufactured from pliable material the bow sight ancillary distance marker attachment is held in place by friction.

  • Patent number: 12139451
    Abstract: Use of diverse biomass feedstock in a process for the recovery of target C5 and C6 alditols and target glycols via staged hydrogenation and hydrogenolysis processes is disclosed. Particular alditols of interest include, but are not limited to, xylitol and sorbitol. Various embodiments of the present invention synergistically improve overall recovery of target alditols and/or glycols from a mixed C5/C6 sugar stream without needlessly driving total recovery of the individual target alditols and/or glycols. The result is a highly efficient, low complexity process having enhanced production flexibility, reduced waste and greater overall yield than conventional processes directed to alditol or glycol production.
